Zero Gravity McLighty's Light Lager, 3.2% - clear pale gold with a frothy white head that falls fast. Mild aroma of lemon and grains. Taste is better, with lemons and shortbread. Nice easy thirst quencher! Cheers!
Second purchase was a bummer - smelled like a fart and was murky and brownish. Never again.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden straw color with a small head of puffy white foam. The head fades rather fast, leaving a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strong of a grainy and bready smell mixed with some caramel sweetness. Along with these smells comes a bit of peach and pear as well as a little bit of hay and must.
Taste – The taste starts out with a light bready and cracker malt flavor mixed with some grain and a bit of caramel. As the taste advances some grass and hay, as well as a touch of corn join in, and with a little bit of earth joining in at the end, one is left with a light and crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and crisp with a high carbonation level. For the low abv and the session nature of the brew the feel is great and makes for a very easy sipper.
Overall - A decent light brew overall. Easy drinking and moderately flavorful.

Clear amber appearance.
Body and carbonation both voters around average.
Aroma is malt,corn,honey,grqin,grain, little floral.
Taste for the most part stays true to the aroma,mild sweetness with an even more mild hop finish.
Overall I reviewed this based on what it is and not against what I would call regular beer. For a light beer it was much better than some I've had in the past and I wouldnt mind having some stashed in the fridge.

Can. Clear gold very fizzy head dies away. Fairly decent grassy aroma with some green tea and ginger ale. Very light crackery sweetness with very light watery tea-like bitterness. What little flavor there is is unpleasant. Very light body fizzy gross.

Poured from a 16 oz can; no birth date. Pours burnt yellow with a thin head of foam; rapidly recedes. Tastes of light biscuit and crackers. Very light on the palate... watery taste. Good for a low abv beer

Clear golden appearance, fizzy loose white head, low retention and lacing. Grass, hay, lemon, grapefruit notes. Light body, moderate to light carbonation. Pretty solid for a light lager.

On tap at Zero Gravity Craft Brewery in Burlington, VT.
This one pours a very clear golden straw yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells somewhat floral, with straw, grass, and a light sweetness.
There's not much to this, which is kind of the point. It's a light lager done well, with no off-flavors, a pleasant little bready sweetness, and just a slight hint of floral and grassy hop character.
This finishes very crisply and cleanly, with a great drinkability.
It's kind of fun when craft breweries tackle this mass produced style. It's even more fun when they do it well, like they have here.

I got a hella sweet deal on a 12 pack of this beer for $14.99 at a Jolley gas station. Canned 2/17/22. Pours a nice golden. hue with a thin head into my glass. Light, grassy malt in the nose with muted hop presence. There is certainly a light, grassy twang. The only downside I could think of is the carbonation level. That may also be my own reaction to it and should not be taken as a fact. However, at 3.8% ABV and 90 calories, it's a hell lot better than settling for a 12 pack of Natty LIght.
